Cosmaki dyes finished textiles in small batches – plant-based, local, and honest. For labels, artists, and organizations that don't want to outsource responsibility.
Who we dye for
We work with people and brands that want more than just off-the-shelf paint.
From limited-edition merch collections to textile exhibitions – Cosmaki dyes for everyone who works with materials, design, and attitude.
How we work
Every project is different. That's why we don't think in terms of standard solutions, but rather in terms of materials, colors, and feasibility.
